Important Safe Operation Practices 2
3
General Operation
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on your
equipment and in their manuals before attempting to
assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a safe place for
future and regular reference and for ordering replacement
parts.
2. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep
bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet from
the mower while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other
foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by
the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury.
4. Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation and while performing an adjustment or repair
to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can
cause serious injury to the eyes.
5. Do not operate the mower without the discharge cover
or entire grass catcher in its proper place. A missing
or damaged discharge cover or grass bag attachment
component may result in thrown objects or blade contact
injuries.
6. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the
cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can amputate
hands and feet.
7. Shut off mower’s engine and wait for blades to come to
a complete stop before unclogging mower’s discharge
opening or bagger parts.
8. Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly.
Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed. Be aware
that a grass catcher attachment can affect the handling
characteristics of your mower.
9. Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait
until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before opening
bagger attachment’s top cover, removing grass catcher,
emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing any grass or
debris, or making any adjustments.
10. Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn
off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.
11. Your machine is designed to cut normal residential grass of
a height no more than 10”. Do not attempt to mow through
unusually tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/
or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire
hazard.
12. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use
care and good judgment. Contact your customer service
representative for assistance.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over
accidents which can result in severe injury or death. Attachments
can also affect the stability of the machine. All slopes require
extra caution.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this
manual to estimate the angle of slopes before operating this
machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 10
degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate the mower
with the grass bag attachment installed on that area or serious
injury could result.
Do:
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
WARNING! This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed,
could endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow
all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply
with these instructions may result in personal injury.
When you see this symbol. HEED ITS WARNING!
DANGER! This attachment was built to be used according to the safe operation practices in
this manual. Carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury.
Mowers are capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe
the following safety instructions as well as the instructions provided with your mower, could
result in serious injury or death.

Safety Symbols
This table depicts and describes safety symbols that may appear on this product. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine before attempting to assemble and operate.
Symbol Description
READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL(S)
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual(s) before attempting to
assemble and operate
STOP
Turn off the engine before opening the bagger cover.
3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so
that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes
are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear
when going down slopes to take advantage of engine
braking action.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
5. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid
engagement or braking could cause the front of the
machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could
cause serious injury.
6. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down
the slope.
Do Not:
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The
mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge
of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
General Service
1. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
3. Never tamper with your mower’s safety interlock system
or other safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly.
4. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs while the
mower’s engine is running.
5. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are
subject to wear and damage which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection,
frequently check components and replace immediately
with original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only,
listed in this manual. Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!
6. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
WARNING! Your Responsibility—Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who read, understand and
follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

(OK) (TOO STEEP)
USE THIS SLOPE GAUGE TO DETERMINE
IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows: 1. Remove this page and fold along the dashed line. 2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole, building, fence, tree, etc.) 3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object (See Figure 1 and Figure 2 ). 4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the slope (See Figure 1 and Figure 2). 5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for safe operation (See Figure 2 above).

Identify The Model of Tractor
This bagging system is designed for use on several different
tractor models. Prior to attempting to mount the bagger, it is
important to determine which model of tractor that you have.
To identify your tractor’s model, simply pivot the seat upward
and locate the model plate on its underside. The model number
will consist of a combination of eleven number and letters.
The 5th, 6th & 7th digits in your model number determine the
model series. For example, 13WC762F065, 13AN795S001 and
13WN77KS011 are all 700-series tractors.
700-Series Tractors Only
If you are assembling this bagger for use on any 700-series model
tractor you will need to install the two tractor mounting brackets
packed in your bagger kit. If you are installing this bagger unit on
any other tractor, disregard these steps and move to Assemble
Mounting Brackets on the next page.
To install these brackets on a model 700-series tractor, follow
these steps:
1. If not already installed by the factory, install a shoulder bolt
from your hardware pack on each bracket, securing them
with flange lock nuts also included in the hardware pack.
Refer to Figure 4-1.
2. If already installed in the brackets, remove the clevis pins
and clips, retain for later instuctions. Refer to Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1
3. Mount the 700 series tractor mounting brackets to your
tractor using four self-tapping hex screws included with
your kit. See Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2
For All Tractors:
Assemble Mounting Brackets
To assemble the bagger mounting assembly, locate the hitch
bracket kit and follow these steps:
1. Attach the right-hand and left hand rider hitch bracket
to the universal rear attachment bracket using the four
carriage bolts (710-3008) and flange lock nuts (712-04063)
packed with the mounting brackets. Position the brackets
with the hooks on the right-hand and left hand rider hitch
bracket pointing downward, and the tabs on the universal
rear attachment bracket pointing upwards. See Figure 4-3.

2. Install the clevis pin (711-309A) from hardware pack 689-
00319 into the tractor’s hitch and secure with a hairpin clip
(714-0117). See Figure 4-6.
Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch
plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it
may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch
plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside.
The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier
to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision
should be based on operator preference.
Note: If you decided to leave the hitch support only
finger tight during the assembly process, tighten all of the
hardware securely at this time.
Align hole on bracket

Figure 4-6
Installing the Mounting Assembly onto a 700 Series Tractors
Install the mounting assembly on the tractor as follows:
1. Place the hooked ends of the bagger mounting assembly
over the shoulder bolts, as in Figure 4-7, on the tractor and
line up the hitch support hole on the mounting assembly
with the hole on the tractor’s hitch.
Figure 4-7
Note: This universal mounting bracket assembly is
designed to work with other available attachments, such
as a weight kit used in conjunction with the snow blade or
snow thrower attachment. Utilize the contact information
on page 2, or contact the retailer in which you purchased
this equipment, to find out more about available
attachments for your specific tractor.
2. Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket to
the mounting assembly using four 710-3008 hex bolts and
712-04063 flange lock nuts from hardware pack 689-00319.
See Figure 4-4 for proper orientation.

Medidas importantes de seguridad 2

Funcionamiento general
1. Lea, comprenda y respete todas las instrucciones que
figuran en el equipo y en los manuales antes de intentar
armarlo y hacerlo funcionar. Guarde este manual en un
lugar seguro para consultas futuras y periódicas, así como
para solicitar repuestos.
2. Para ayudar a evitar una lesión por contacto con las
cuchillas o con un objeto que sea arrojado, mantenga a las
personas que observan, a los ayudantes, niños y mascotas
alejados a no menos de 25 metros de la máquina mientras
está funcionando. Detenga la máquina si alguien entra en
la zona.
3. Revise minuciosamente el área donde se va a usar el
equipo. Retire todas las piedras, palos, cables, huesos,
juguetes y otros objetos extraños que podrían ser
recogidos y arrojados por la acción de las cuchillas. Los
objetos arrojados por la máquina pueden causar lesiones
graves.
4. Para protegerse los ojos, utilice siempre gafas o lentes de
seguridad mientras opera la máquina o mientras la ajusta
o repara. Los objetos arrojados que rebotan pueden causar
lesiones oculares graves.
5. Nunca opere la cortadora de césped sin tener bien
colocada la cubierta de descarga o el colector de césped.
Si falta o está dañada la cubierta de descarga o un
componente del accesorio embolsador puede resultar
en lesiones por contacto con la cuchilla o con objetos
arrojados.
6. No ponga las manos ni los pies cerca de las piezas
rotatorias ni debajo de la plataforma de corte. El contacto
con las cuchillas puede resultar en la amputación de una
mano o pie.
7. Apague el motor de la cortadora de césped y espere que
las cuchillas se detengan totalmente antes de desbloquear
la abertura de descarga de la cortadora o las piezas de la
embolsadora.
8. Reduzca la velocidad antes de girar. Opere la máquina
de forma pareja. Evite el funcionamiento errático y la
velocidad excesiva. Tenga en cuenta que el accesorio
colector de césped puede afectar las características de
manejo de su cortadora.
9. Desenganche las cuchillas, coloque el freno de mano,
detenga el motor y espere hasta que las cuchillas se
detengan totalmente antes de abrir la cubierta superior del
accesorio embolsador, sacar el colector de césped, vaciar
los recortes, desbloquear el canal, retirar cualquier residuo
o desecho, o realizar cualquier ajuste.
10. Nunca deje la máquina en funcionamiento sin vigilancia.
Apague siempre las cuchillas, coloque la transmisión en
neutral, coloque el freno de mano, detenga el motor y
retire la llave antes de bajarse del vehículo.
11. Su máquina fue diseñada para cortar césped residencial
normal, con una altura no mayor a 10”. No intente cortar
pasto demasiado crecido y seco (por ej., pastura) ni pilas
de hojas secas. El pasto y las hojas secas pueden entrar
en contacto con el escape del motor y/o acumularse en la
plataforma de la cortadora de césped, convirtiéndose en
un peligro de incendio.
12. Si se presentan situaciones que no están previstas en este
manual, sea cuidadoso y use el sentido común. Póngase en
contacto con su representante de atención al cliente para
solicitar asistencia.
Funcionamiento en pendientes
Las pendientes son un factor importante en los accidentes
ocasionados por pérdida de control y vuelcos que pueden causar
lesiones graves e incluso la muerte. Los accesorios tambíen
pueden afectar la estabilidad de la máquina. La operación en
pendiente requiere mayor precaución.
Para seguridad, use el medidor de pendientes que se incluye
como parte de este manual para estimar el ángulo de la
pendiente antes de hacer funcionar la máquina en una zona
inclinada. Si la pendiente es mayor a 10 grados en el medidor, no
opere la cortadora con el accesorio embolsador en ese sector,
pues podría causar lesiones graves.
Haga lo siguiente:
1. Corte hacia arriba y abajo de las pendientes, no en forma
transversal. Tenga sumo cuidado al cambiar de dirección
en una pendiente.
2. Esté atento a los hoyos, surcos, baches, rocas, u otros
objetos ocultos. El terreno desnivelado puede voltear la
máquina. El pasto alto puede ocultar obstáculos.
¡ADVERTENCIA! La presencia de este símbolo indica que se trata de instrucciones
importantes de seguridad que se deben respetar para evitar poner en peligro su seguridad
personal y/o material y la de otras personas. Lea y cumpla todas las instrucciones de este
manual antes de intentar operar esta máquina. Si no respeta estas instrucciones puede
causar lesiones personales.
CUANDO vea este símbolo. ¡TENGA EN CUENTA LAS ADVERTENCIAS!
¡PELIGRO! Este accesorio está diseñado para ser usado respetando las normas de seguridad
contenidas en este manual. Un descuido o error por parte del operador puede ocasionar
lesiones graves. Una cortadora es capaz de amputar manos y pies y de arrojar objetos
con gran fuerza. Si no se observan las siguientes instrucciones de seguridad junto con las
instrucciones suministradas con la cortadora, se puede ocasionar lesiones graves e incluso la
muerte.
